Please advise if Re RCT is possible?
I have had a root canal on tooth #6, 7 years ago. I now have a chronic periapical abscess with cheek swelling. My CBCT (attached) shows infection but no clear fracture. I want the best effort to save the tooth (re-RCT) before extraction. Could you please advise if it is possible?

Bridge gap, fit issues: guidance needed
Dear Esteemed Dentists, I need guidance on a new 6-unit bridge (cemented 25 days ago by a prosthodontist) with fit issues noticed within 5 days. Abutments are healthy canines and RRT lateral incisors with posts. Issues: Palpable gap (fingertip fits) on the left canine lingual side, sometimes trapping food. left Canine crown feels bulky, causing constant soft tissue irritation. Sharp Margin: Left lateral incisor margin caused chronic gum irritation after smoothing attempts. Dentist’s Responses: Claims gap is an intentional "cleansing gap." Proposed solutions: gum massage gel for 48 days or sealing with bonding material. Suggested a CBCT scan. Second Opinion: Confirmed poor fit/technical error. Questions: Are these gaps clinically acceptable? Are proposed solutions (gel, bonding) standard ethical treatments? What are the long-term risks to abutment teeth? What is the standard of care for rectification? I seek guidance on an ethical path to ensure my dental health. Thank you.
